For non lottery sales over $20.00 recently we gave away one of our branded red reusable bags – like Coles green bag but bright red. It’s great to see people come back in with them next time, especially when buying a weekend newspaper – when we are most often asked for a plastic bag. Removing plastic bags is a step by step, transaction by transaction process and having an environmentally friendly option in helping us reduce the number of plastic bags we hand customers.
Giving out free bags is also a cost saving exercise. If customers reuse them they are saving you the cost of a plastic bag. A plastic bag every weekend for a single paper for one year will cost more than one canvas bag!
It is also one of the most cost effective ways of advertising. What other advertising lasts as long as a canvas bag with your brand one it? Very few i would think.
Giving away canvas bags is simple and effective. The perfect promotional tool for any store.
